I have a question I hope someone may be able to help me with.

While walking through the main building I noticed a Sewing Machine stand, where they had an Overlocking machine that claimed to be self threading and tension adjusting free...But I cant recall the brand?
I hope someone will let me know?

I love using lace, and the idea of dying it was something I had to try, so I bought a kit to give it a go...

I didn't even know it was on - we don't get much advertising of it up here in Newcastle. Love Chris

P.S. The overlocker (serger for our friends overseas) sounds a dream!!!!!

OOOPs, just read the other posts and see you already have an answer

Was going to guess that it was Probably a Juki. Juki made Elna and Singer embroidery machines and they were both completely self threading.

Oh well, hugs n roses anyway, Meganne

Yes on Thursday ,a loverly day out.It was probably The Babylock Evolve overlocker. I bought one last year at Darling Harbour.Reels 3& 4 (& 5 used for cover st) are threaded by air.It is a beautiful expensive machine made in Japan that does many other things as well.

Could I please ask how much it cost?
by killiecrankie 13 Mar 2011
Show special about $3,395 with lots of threads in a box ,instuction books ,dvds etc.The trouble I had with it was my husband broke his ankle before I got to pick it up & it took awhile before I could sit down in peace to play with it but now I am use to it.You can get all sorts of feet to go with it ,bought the pin tucking foot & there are a more interesting feet being developed eg a bias binder foot. These feet are being made by the Australian distributor in Melbourne based on some of the feet available on commercial overlockers.Went to a demo last Dec about this.

Why don't you go to the Quilt show at Darling Habour in June & ask for a demo ,it will be cheaper there,maybe even cheaper seeing that our $ is worth more now.
This model is the most expensive one because it has coverstitch other models have the air threading too
